But they sat down around me with a bottle full of something that looked like water, passing it from one Indian to the other, so I put on a brave look as if I was not afraid of them.

He flung his cloak back. The light of the lanthorn under the keystone of the arch glimmered feebly on the blade of his maimed arm. He made a discreet and bloodcurdling gesture to me with the other. How could I hold a man so that he should be stabbed from behind in my arms? Castro was running up swiftly, his cloak opening like a pair of sable wings.
Some local historian has written a bloodcurdling description of the merciless massacre of old men, women and children by Hamtramck's army, but this tale is an injustice both to the worthy Major and the soldiers under him.
And now comes the bloodcurdling part of the tale that I would rather omit; but I must tell it all to you just as the dear little Irish children heard it centuries ago, or I should feel that I had marred this ancient bit of fairy folklore. Yellow Lily, as usual, brought something to eat, and after they had eaten, she, for the first time, turned upon the prince a sorrowful face.

With bloodcurdling yells the galleys swept alongside with the fighting men massed on the high poops and forecastles of their vessels.
Then I'll wait for him," said the young man in as bloodcurdling a tone as his size would allow: he did not stand five feet three in his boots. He stood still for a moment, scowling round the studio; then he said in a dreadful tone: "There'll be plenty of room for us." He fell into the position of a prizefighter on guard and danced two steps to the right, and two steps to the left.
Robin, who was automatically murmuring something about transferred epithets, apologised for this pedantic lapse, and the tale proceeded.
